Hi Joe. Slow Ride should be coming out any day now! It's all shot and they are working on the post production now! This is my first response to the forum, thanks for the note and for the love!
Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo is a blast indeed and Listen to the music is a great song for working your rhythm; most Doobie Brother songs are! Solo work and bending is a life long practice and you should certainly keep it up! It all gets easier with time!!!

Cheers, Tom~
